From: Michal Hocko <[email protected]> Mikhail has reported the following VM_BUG_ON triggered when reading sysfs removable state of a memory block: page:000003d082008000 is uninitialized and poisoned page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p)) Call Trace: ([<0000000000385b26>] test_pages_in_a_zone+0xde/0x160) [<00000000008f15c4>] show_valid_zones+0x5c/0x190 [<00000000008cf9c4>] dev_attr_show+0x34/0x70 [<0000000000463ad0>] sysfs_kf_seq_show+0xc8/0x148 [<00000000003e4194>] seq_read+0x204/0x480 [<00000000003b53ea>] __vfs_read+0x32/0x178 [<00000000003b55b2>] vfs_read+0x82/0x138 [<00000000003b5be2>] ksys_read+0x5a/0xb0 [<0000000000b86ba0>] system_call+0xdc/0x2d8 Last Breaking-Event-Address: [<0000000000385b26>] test_pages_in_a_zone+0xde/0x160 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops
The reason is that the memory block spans the zone boundary and we are stumbling over an unitialized struct page. Fix this by enforcing zone range in is_mem_section_removable so that we never run away from a zone.
